Whilst some sci-fi concepts are handled maturely (Rollerball, Blade Runner and District 9 for example) Upgrade is basically written for teenagers. The set up is weak and if your IQ is over 65 you'll work out in the first 10 minutes that Eron (and thereby STEM) set up the crash and mugging because it needed a volunteer to test the new technology. You then face the decision of whether or not to bother with another 90mins of plot holes, plastic set pieces, cringey lines and a bad guy that looks like Hitler only to find out you were correct from the start. Logan Marshall-Green and most of the cast are fine but this Venom-like premise is completely overrated.
